    Hi Ashwin,

    I'm Titus, here to assist you with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums.

    It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where Hyper-V is enabled on your Windows 11 system, but Hyper-V Manager isn’t showing up. This is a common situation and can be caused by several factors. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot:

    1. Verify Hyper-V Manager Installation

    Even if Hyper-V is enabled, the management tools may not be installed by default.

    • Open the Windows Features dialog by typing “Turn Windows features on or off” in the Start menu.
    • Ensure both "Hyper-V" and "Hyper-V Management Tools" are checked.
    • If not, check them and click OK to install.
    1. Access Hyper-V Manager

    Once installed, you can open it by:

    • Typing “Hyper-V Manager” in the Start menu search.
    • Or pressing Windows + R, typing virtmgmt.msc, and hitting Enter.
    1. Check Your Windows Edition

    Hyper-V is only available on Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions. If you're using Windows 11 Home, Hyper-V features—including the manager—will not be available.

    1. Update Your System

    Make sure your Windows installation is fully updated. Missing updates can sometimes prevent features from functioning properly.

    1. Use PowerShell to Confirm Installation

    Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:

    Get-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V
    

    This command will show whether Hyper-V and its management tools are installed correctly.
